Oasis has a couple of good songs but my overall impression is that they were a bit overrated back in the 90’s. Wasn’t it they themselves who claimed they were the second coming of the Beatles or was that the music news media creating the hype?
I cannot rule out that they said something like that a few times, but mostly it was the media.
Edit: As for the songs: they have some real gems. IMO some of their B sides or demos are better than most bands’ actual hits. I don’t have all that many albums from any band that I listen front to back without skipping songs, but I do that with almost all Oasis albums, I rarely skip any songs.
@Harry_Bumcrack Argh, Blur! :
No offense to anyone but I’m with you on this.
One of the few songs I can say I appreciate of Oasis is “■■■■■■■ in the bushes”
If you like that one, try searching for “Headshrinker” or “Bring It On Down”, you might like those as well.
Think I saw them at Wembley stadium just before it was knocked down and rebuilt bet I even have the ticket somewhere.
Probably had every single Album on CD from the 90s. Never been a fan of old bands getting back together though - it can never be the same.
I see Noel is going with the “What if Peter Gabriel still had hair?” look while Liam is going to try out for American Psycho 2: Still a British Guy and The Dark Knight Bakes at 350F for an Hour.
I still can’t believe they did a cover of I am the Walrus.
Only mentioned because of their (in)famous rivalry and it was sure to wind up the Oasis fans
When it comes to Damon Albarn I prefer Gorillaz to Blur.
Ah yes, just like the Duran Duran vs. Spandau Ballet rivalry!
This…I just don’t know man… Chester was iconic. She sounds OK. I closed my eyes and listened. I don’t know. And then there is the whole weirdness of some of her history…
Lightning hardly ever strikes twice but I wish the band the best of luck.
Yeah, I’m still also very, very much on the fence with this for a lot of the same reasons.
Make that three of us.
Edit: Only just realised that this isn’t a cover . I think I need to hear more, a bit like it took me a while to warm to Queen without Freddy Mercury.
Certain bands for me just stopped existing when one or two major members left either because they quit or they died. Queen, Journey and Styx come foremost to my mind.
I hate people so much sometimes.
